Exciting news ! :)

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to post a very quick but exciting blog post and share a video that I made to go with it. As most of you know June 24th 2011 I set off on a adventure that would change my life forever. I left for Costa Rica to do a Children at Risk school at the YWAM base in San Jose. After a very life changing 3 months God led me to Jaco a small beach town about 2 and a half hours away from San Jose to help a young family with there Children's ministry called EL Refugio. After 4 intense,fun ,challenging , awesome months I left Jaco with a heart to head back in April and continue on helping with the ministry and go on to make a long term commitment ! I returned January 25th ready for some refreshment to see my family after 7 months and to raise support. Alot of unexpected circumstances came up and my trip to Jaco was post poned until only God new . I got my job back I had prior to going to Costa Rica and started saving up bought my laptop and just prayed and asked God what he would have for me. About a month ago I felt called to move to Baltimore, MD and pursue a nannying position so I filled out the application online and sent it in and started praying for the right one to come up and for a date to move, things looked good at first I got a reply right away wanting an interview that weekend :) Well of course I was not ready to leave just that soon and so I wrote them back and explained what was going on and that I would get back to them as soon as I knew. Applied for a few more and got a reply and all looked promising. :) Well about 2 weeks ago I was over at my Pastor's house for Lunch he started asking me about my time in Jaco and what all I did. He also asked me if I felt called to missions for a life time on which of course my answer was "yes!" He said he wants to meet again with me and get more details of my time there and what I will be doing when I return! you might say "what your returning ?" and my answer is it's only God! He said he wants to help support me so on that thought he goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am returning to Jaco Lord willing in July and this is where all of you come in. Please pray and consider supporting me in my mission to help bring hope to the hopeless . and this is where my video comes in. Please take a few minutes and watch this and get a heart for what Jaco faces ! Thank you all for your time! Sincerly Aimee Griffin Contact me: Aimee Griffin Livingwithapurpose@aol.com
